About Amee
Hi, I'm Amee! I founded Live to Sweet because I love baking from scratch and sharing my recipes with you! I'm a baking blogger, recipe developer, and food photographer. I'm also a high-functioning introvert, overthinker, list-maker, and baking addict. I love cooking (and science, and sarcasm, and I have an odd fascination with mini farm animals), but sweets are my passion!
My husband, Adam, and I have been married for 18 (!!) years. We live in our beautiful home state of Michigan with our three kiddos. I can honestly say that the only thing I'm more passionate about than baking is these amazing people. <3
I'm an environmental scientist by training. My career was high stress and long hours--which I'm suited for. Mostly. Baking became my creative outlet; a way to feel relaxed centered (I don't really relax). Sometimes you just need to bake some cookies at midnight so you're mentally and emotionally prepared for the next day. Lots of people do that, right?
My Philosophy
I think that from-scratch baking is the most delicious, so that's my focus! My recipes use the best ingredients I can find, which results in the best flavor! Using ingredients that are local, organic, ethical, sustainable, and in-season are important to me. I also love to make sweets that maybe you've never seen before. (Root Beer Float Cream Puffs, anyone?)
I won't post a recipe unless it works. Period.
I won't suggest an ingredient or product unless I love it and use it myself.
I won't be one of those food bloggers trying to sell you vitamins or toothpaste. (I've been asked to do both. Seriously.)
